Pseudocapacitive properties of electrodeposited porous nanowall Co3O4 film
Abstract.
A porous nanowall Co3O4 film is prepared by a facile cathodic electrodeposition. The as-prepared porous
nanowall Co3O4 film shows a net-like porous structure with huge porosity. The porous network is made
up of free standing interconnected Co3O4 nanoflakes with a thickness of 20 nm. As cathode material
for pseudocapacitors, porous nanowall Co3O4 film exhibits weaker polarization, higher electrochemical
reactivity and better cycling performance as compared to the dense Co3O4 film. The specific capacitance of
porous nanowall Co3O4 film is 325 F g−1 at 2 A g−1 and 247 F g−1 at 40 A g−1, respectively, much higher than
that of the dense Co3O4 film (230 F g−1 at 2 A g−1 and 167 F g−1 at 40 A g−1). The better pseudocapacitive
performances of the porous nanowall Co3O4 film are attributed to its highly porous morphology, which
provides large reaction surface and short ion diffusion paths, and relaxes the volume change caused by
the reaction during the cycling process.
